Heads up for the commuters in Catahoula Parish: Duty Ferry has been shut down for mechanical repairs. The closure, which took effect last Saturday, will disrupt the flow across LA 559 in Enterprise until further notice. While the inconvenience is sure to rattle some cages, safety is the name of the game, and these repairs can't wait.
For those of you needing to skirt around this roadblock, the Department of Transportation and Development has plotted a detour that'd take you on a scenic loop from LA 124 East to LA 8 East, then up US 425 North before bringing you back down LA 128 West and LA 4 West to reconnect with LA 559. It's all laid out, waiting for the tread of tires diverted.
In a release on their website, which you can check out here, the DOTD offered contact details for those who might need more clarity on the situation. If you're itching for info, Bridget Mappus, PE, ADA of Operations for District 58 Chase is the go-to. Give her a ring at 318-412-3102 or shoot an email over to [email protected].
The DOTD hasn't skipped a beat in reminding drivers to be vigilant and patient. "DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment," as mentioned on their site.
